“This property strikes me as a thoughtfully designed space, enhanced by its waterfront views and bar, though some find the service inconsistent relative to the price point. The Mediterranean restaurant, while promising, seems to need some refinement. Overall, it presents a luxurious stay with a few operational kinks to resolve.”
